“It’s truly gratifying to have our Shariah Registered Financial Planner (RFP) to be recognized once again by the GIFA Award’s committee as we have been named the ‘Best Islamic Finance Education Provider’ last year.” It is known to many, our initiative in developing Shariah RFP is to play a part of making Malaysia as an international marketplace for Islamic finance. We believe that our initiative in developing the Islamic financial planning will further solidify our position as the premier umbrella body representing Financial Planning Professionals and Financial Services Providers in Malaysia. We are humble of what we (MFPC) have achieved all these years and this recognition will indeed be the catalyst to further drive us to be committed in what we do, and to benefit not only Malaysians, but we look forward to share our knowledge in Islamic Wealth Management in Asia region and at the global arena in the near future. I am pleased and honored to accept this award”.

Currently, MFPC have more than 10,000 members and 441 of them are qualified Shariah RFP designees. MFPC believes that over the years, the number of Shariah RFP will increase as the demand for it is continuous as financial practitioners and the general public have been vigilant on Islamic wealth management.
